Today is 3-14, so let's celebrate mathematics and test our math skills for a little fun (and maybe some merit.)

I'll start:
√-1 2^3 ∑ π

Post your fun equations if you have them.

Disclaimer: I'm not a merit source, but I do have a couple of dozen sMerit burning a hole in my pocket.
Disclaimer 2:  Yeah, I know, we Americans write dates backwards, get over it.  Furthermore, if it wasn't for us backwards Americans there wouldn't be a Pi day.  You're welcome.  Kiss
4  Other / Meta / Rename the Scam Accusations board to "Casino Complaints Department" on: February 26, 2026, 08:50:15 PM
The Scam Accusations board has become useless for reporting actual scams.  The plethora of complaints about casinos drowns out actual scam reports and discussions.  Many of the casino complaints are by scammers themselves who got caught abusing multiple accounts/reference codes.  It's just sneaky scammers reporting transparent scammers.

My sarcastic thread title aside, I’d like to suggest a new sub-board in the gambling section for reporting casino problems and scam accusations.  Let’s leave the main Scam Accusation board for reporting all other scams, not related to casinos or gambling.  Currently the first page of the Scam Accusations board is all casino related threads, with the exception of two.  It's essentially a sub board about gambling anyway, so why shouldn't it be in the gambling section?



PSA: Casinos and gambling sites are not in the business of giving away money.  They are in the business of taking yours.

Sorry for my horrible Arabic.  A member of the French community found vandalism in the French Translation of the Electrum Android app.  The developer looking into the issue also found the issue is affecting the Arabic translation as well, so I thought I would warn you guys here.

7  Other / Meta / Happy Thanksgiving! on: November 27, 2025, 12:09:35 PM
Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Americans, and people around the world who choose to celebrate.

Thanksgiving, or Family and Feast Day as I like to call it, is one of my favorite holidays.  It's purely about celebrating three of my favorite things; family, friends, and food.

However, within the name of this holiday is a little affirmation; something we should all be doing every single day, all year 'round, but we often forget.  This world makes it easy for us to forget how blessed we are.  We're constantly being bombarded with advertisements for things we can't afford and don't really need in the first place.  We're hypnotized by influencers with extravagant lifestyles.  We're constantly made to feel less-than if we're not living in a large house with fancy cars in the driveway.  We've normalized giving-in to extreme materialism the very day after we're supposed to be giving thanks for the most important things in life.

I'm not suggestion you don't take advantage of the sales, but keep in mind that these sales are often nothing more than well calculated and highly targeted marketing tricks.  If you didn't need this item yesterday, you're not going to miss not having it tomorrow, no matter how cheap it is today.

I also would like to encourage all of you, and as a reminder to myself; think of those less fortunate.  Instead of buying the latest and greatest new ear buds, make do with your old ones for another year and instead, donate that money to charity.  If you're blessed with an abundance of time, volunteer to help the local charity who's feeding the poor.  If you're blessed with cooking skills, make a dish to share with the community at your local house of worship.

Little things like that help unify a community.  This year let's focus a little effort on building and unifying our communities, and a little less on building the coffers of Mega Corp.

God Bless!

There's something strange about gordonics.com

He hasn't outwardly done anything untrustworthy and has no trust history worth mentioning but now he's offering himself as an escrow agent:

I'm still a junior member, but if it helps, I can offer my services as an escrow.

He's been absent for a long time, recently woke up, and is handing out loans to shady accounts (possibly his own alts.)  I'm suspicious he's trying feign trust with alts.

Sleeper makes entering your predictions very simple, and doesn't take more than a few minutes.

At the end of the contest, the participant with the most points (i.e. highest number of accurate predictions) wins the competition.
The number of winners will be determined by the number of participants.

10  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Ledger Live breach, potential stolen assets on: July 18, 2025, 02:56:01 AM
EDIT:

Fake, phishing email, sorry for the false alarm.  I should have checked the sender before jumping to conclusions.






Just got this email from Ledger:

Security Advisory: Incident Report & Device Update
Dear Valued Ledger Customer,

We are writing to inform you of a critical security incident that has come to our attention and to provide guidance on immediate steps you must take to protect your digital assets. At Ledger, security is the foundation of everything we do, and we are committed to full transparency with our community.

On July 16, 2025, our security team identified a sophisticated social engineering attack targeting select Ledger Live employees. This breach provided threat actors with unauthorized access to a limited segment of our internal servers, where they successfully deployed ransomware.

Most alarmingly, we have received credible reports that this incident may have led to the theft of some customer assets. We are investigating these reports with the highest priority and are working around the clock to understand the full scope of the impact.

Update Your Device
Due to the severity of this threat and the potential risk to your assets, we strongly urge all users to update their device. This new update contains critical security patches designed to protect against the vectors used in this attack and fortify your device's defenses.

Our incident response team, in conjunction with leading cybersecurity experts, acted immediately to contain the threat and is conducting a thorough forensic analysis. We are cooperating fully with law enforcement authorities.

We deeply regret any concern this situation may cause. Your security is our absolute priority, and we will continue to provide updates as our investigation progresses. Please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated support team via our official help center at support.ledger.com for assistance.

Ledger is the worst hardware wallet in existence, and no serious person should be using it.  The breach and potential loss of assets must be related to the Ledger Recover feature that stores people's seeds on their servers.  Most people on this forum saw it for the horrible idea it is right from the get go, so I hope none of you fine folks are affected.  If you used that service, check your seeds!

If this isn't Ledger's death knell, then I don't know what will be.

Omega Genomics Corporation is a C-Corporation of the State of California.

The corporation is headquartered in the City of San Diego.

The mission of the corporation is to stop the eugenics movement.

The corporation has intellectual property and trade secrets in genomic interpretation, genomic comparison, and genomic sequencing.

The Corporation is selling 50,000,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (dividend producing) to fund operations at $1 a share.

Colloquial Statement
Civil and criminal law in the United States of America have failed.

As a result, Omega Genomics Corporation has the potential to become "Wayne Enterprises" from DC Comics' "Batman," LexCorp from DC Comics' "Superman," and Oscorp Industries from Marvel Comics' "Spiderman" combined - hence the high valuation.

Omega Genomics Corporation has a secret menu of holdings by request only.

Good morning, and Merry Christmas everyone.

I'm not Christian, nor Italian, but for those of us in the West, most of us have days off to celebrate with family and friends.  Since I'm from the SF Bay Area, we've adopted a local tradition that was developed by Italian immigrants in the late 1800s; cioppino!  Cioppino is a fragrant and hearty seafood stew made with fresh fish, clams, mussels, and dungeness crab.



Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, and reminding you to be thankful for all of your blessings.  Please don't forget to say a prayer for those less fortunate, and for the people of all faiths who are suffering in the Holy Land.

God bless.

14  Economy / Reputation / Etranger's strange loan request on: October 12, 2024, 12:57:12 PM
For about a week now I've been debating whether a tag is needed for user Etranger since he made a rather large loan request.  The loan request itself isn't that strange (other the the large sum; $150,000,) but what is strange is claim of how he intends to spend it:  He wants to use the money to research and plan a $40 million mining operation.  He has no collateral for the $150k, and no down payment for the $40 million.

Okay, dreaming big, and a fantasy of generous lenders who don't require security...  What's the problem?

The issue I have with the request is demonstrated the best as it was written in his own words:

•      Creation of a company whose purpose is managing the crypto farm and investment activities – $15,000
•      Creation of company's identity – $20,000 (part of presentation of a company)
•   Hiring a specialist or company as a legal advisor – $18,000 ($1,500 per month)
•   Legal support for the creation and operation of the company – $10,000 (payment which is required for legal actions on the company`s creation stage)
•   Business trips for that members of our team who are currently not in Ukraine to countries where the crypto farm locations are situated – $8,000 (2 members, $4,000 for each. Countries: Switzerland, Norway and Finland)
•   Business meetings with investment funds and private investors - $6,000 (2 members, $3,000 for each. This category includes tickets, accomodation and local transportation, not cavier in reastaurants. Note that there are 4 trips planning)
•   Attending leading crypto conferences - $4,000
•   Legal and technical inspections of the locations (also due dilligence included) – $35,000-40,000
•   Payment for services provided by contractors:
        1.   Consultations with electricity suppliers - $2,500
        2.   Consultations and development of the technical specifications for the crypto farm location - $3,500
        3.   Brokerage services for location search (engagement fee) - $10,000 (to the particular broker,  location presented by whom will be chosen)
        4.   Consultations on spot electricity trading and the FRR market  - $4,000
        5.   Development of a Heat Recapture Technology plan (possibility of selling the heat) - $5,000 (individual plan)
        6.   Consultations and work with government representatives regarding permits for the crypto farm's operations - $4,000

The clarification of these numbers are available for those who will engage in a private conversation with us, as long as it is NDA information.

The first 4 bullet points are all the same thing, just worded differently, and sum to $63k.
The following three bullet points are trips for "team members" and sum to $18k.
Another $40k for vague "legal inspections" of real estate.
The remaining bullet points for a bunch of consultations and sum to $29k.

Does that seem legit to anyone here?  It occurred to me that this isn't about a dream of starting a $40 million mining operation.  Who in there right mind thinks they'll be given a $40 million loan without a down payment or any assets to secure the loan?  The numbers above are literally pulled out of thin air, they are the fantasy.  Etranger intends to take the $150k, go to a crypto conference to snap some photos to make it look like he's working diligently, go on some lavish trips pretending to meet with "investors" and "consultants," and the whole time living large off the investor's money.  Once he runs out he'll inform the investor that no one will back the idea with $40 million, but he just needs more time and another $100k to make it happen.

This is my theory, and this is why I feel a tag is justified.  Change my mind?

The CEO of noonesapp, Ray Youssef alleges that Binance.com has seized the assets of all Palestinians living in Palestine.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-seize-funds-palestine-israel

He cites this letter which was disclosed by Binance:



Translation:
In accordance with the authority delegated to me by the Minister of Defense, according to Section 61(a) of the Law on Combating Terrorism, 556-
2016 (hereinafter: "The Law on the Fight against Terrorism") and further to your application as a reference, I would like to inform you that your claims against
Seizure of property by virtue of an administrative seizure order (T56/23) signed by the Minister of Defense on November 1, 2023
By virtue of his authority according to the law, were examined by and rejected for the following reasons:
1. Section 56(b) of the Anti-Terrorism Law states, among other things, that the Minister of Defense may issue an order on
Temporary seizure of property of a declared terrorist organization, as well as seizure of property that was used to commit a crime
Serious terrorism or property where a serious terrorist offense was committed.
2. At the basis of the administrative seizure order (Tt56/23) is reliable intelligence information that teaches that wallets
of cryptocurrencies, including one that is registered in your name, funds have been transferred by an organization
The declared terrorism of the Dubai Exchange Company in the Gaza Strip (declared on March 7, 2022, published in the
10084 p. 2505 on 4.4.2022 (.
3. According to the anti-terrorism law, cryptographic currencies that have been transferred by a declared terrorist organization
constitute property of a declared terrorist organization and cryptocurrency wallets to which it has been transferred
Said property constitutes property that was directly used to commit a serious terrorist offense of providing a service or
Establishing measures for a terrorist organization, as defined in the Law on Combating Terrorism, and therefore in accordance with the instructions
The law allows the Minister of Defense to order their seizure by administrative order in preparation for their confiscation.
4. In light of the above, and if nothing is found in your claims to contradict the information that formed the basis of issuing an order
The seizure, I intend to recommend to the Minister of Defense to order the confiscation of the property for which the seizure order was issued,
In accordance with the authority of the Minister of Defense according to section 66(a) of the law.
5. According to the provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Law, an appeal against this decision will be submitted as a petition to the Court of Matters
administrative.

Binance CEO has denied the allegations, and claims only a select few accounts were seized.

According to the site below, Binance's customers have withdrawn nearly 50k bitcoin in the last few days.

I really don't want to get into the politics of why in this section of the forum, but due to recent news I've decided to boycott Binance.  I generally don't use CEXs anyway, and rarely to do I keep any significant balances there.  I logged into Binance.US today for the first time in around two years and found I had about $90 worth of BTC.  So I went to withdraw it, and I noticed this:



$28 to withdraw my bitcoin!  WTF!?

Any advice?  Would it be worth converting it to DOGE or something?  Remember, this Binance.US not Binance.com, so withdrawal fees may be different.

Humans are $*!7, scum of the earth.  Too stupid to get out of their own way.  The only way to redeem yourselves is to follow my very simple instructions.  Understand?  So, stop being so f@#$ing stupid and embrace what Jesus told you to do.  Jumping jehoshaphat on a pogo stick, you f@#$ing obese R37@r&s!

Step 1: Don't stuff your face with high fructose pron $#!7 for breakfast.
Step 2: Stop being an insufferable American.
Step 3: Submit to my superior CryptoConCurrency project, Jesus will love you then.

I'm trying to gauge interest in a NFL prediction pool.

I've been participating in the Premier League prediction pool hosted by Hilariousandco for the last few years, and thought it would be fun to have similar pool for NFL fans.

For the pool software we can use Superbru since many of us already have an account there and it's free, but if someone has a better suggestion please speak up.

I was thinking of a buy-in of something very affordable, like 0.0005BTC to 0.001BTC, hoping that's likely to attract more players.  I would like to make payouts to the top 5 players, but that would only be practical if we have at least 20 players or so.

Anyone interested?
